After giving a homeless man an Oreo he’d secretly filled with toothpaste, YouTuber ReSet filmed him eating it and then vomiting.

He then joked on camera that he’d done the man a favour by subjecting him to this.

Now reports claim ReSet may face prison for doing this, but he still has millions of subscribers on the video hosting site.

But just who is ReSet, what’s his real name and what exactly is the crime he is accused of?

ReSet’s real name is Kanghua Ren, and he’s a 20-year-old China-born Spaniard who lives in Barcelona.

At the time of writing, he has 1.2 million YouTube subscribers. The banner on his YouTube channel states he plays Fortnite and League of Legends, and he’s been known to wear bright blue contact lenses in his videos.

In January 2017, the number of ReSet subscribers rose dramatically after he filmed himself filling the inside of an Oreo biscuit with toothpaste, putting it back in official packaging and giving a homeless man €20 to eat it.

He filmed the whole exchange, including the man vomiting five minutes later, and said to camera: ‘Maybe I’ve gone a bit far, but look at the positive side: this will help him clean his teeth.

‘I think he hasn’t cleaned them since he became poor.’

The homeless man has been named as Gheorge L, and after the incident he told authorities that he feared for his life, alleging that he was offered €300 (£260) for his silence.

According to the Spanish newspaper El Pais, ReSet earned more than €2,000 (£1,740) from advertising on the video, which was viewed ‘thousands of times’ before it was deleted.

In April 2018, ReSet faces prison time for his ‘crime against moral integrity’. He is currently out on bail awaiting judgement.

Prosecutors are seeking a sentences of two years behind bars, as well as an order to pay Gheorge €30,000 (£26,100) in compensation.

The court heard that ReSet had previously offered sandwiches filled with cat’s faeces to children and elderly people.
